In 1798 32 year-old British economist Malthus anonymously published “An Essay on the Principle of Population” and in it he argued that human population’s increase geometrically (1, 2, 4, 16 etc.) while their food supply can only increase arithmetically (1, 2, 3, 4 etc.).

“The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man”. Thomas Robert Malthus

One billion in 1804

Two billion in 1927

Three billion in 1960

Five billion in 1987

Medical advances lessened the mortality rate in many countries

Massive increases in agricultural productivity because of the “Green Revolution”

The global death rate has dropped almost continuously since the start of the industrial revolution – personal hygiene, improved methods of sanitation and the development of antibiotics have all played a major role.
